Smile VOSSEN CV3 Wheels

Hey Guys,

I need to get feed back from everyone who has 20inch VOSSEN CCV3 wheels 20.9.5/20.10.5/ 245.30.20/275.30.20.

I like to know what changed with the ride,handling,road feel,corning load,body roll,acceleration feel off the line.

Please list if you are stock or aftermarket suspension setup, springs or coilovers,sway bars etc...

Just trying to get a feel of what the car will feel like going from 19inch to 20inch wheels.

Thank you

20" for looks..... 19" for better ride IMO. That's why I am going back to 19". GL

I don't have 20" wheels but I have a lot of wheel experience and if your going from stock 19s to Vossen 20s you are going to notice a rougher ride and slower acceleration. 20" Vossens weigh a decent amount more than your stock wheels. Your handling might be a little worse as well since you will running a lower profile tire. 20" Vossens are not really designed to be a performance wheel.

Stock weight is around 26 1/2. Our CV3s in 20x10.5 weight 28 Pounds. You sure can push them to the limits.

the difference betwen 19s and 20 is so little its not going to affect acceleration
2 pounds difference between 19 and 20s

20 Inch CV3s are at 27 Pounds Front and 28 pounds Rear.

19 Inch CV3s are at 25/26!

Not saying 20" Vossens aren't great wheels. They are built strong, just not a wheel I would take to the track

Love my CV3 in 20", I don't track my car but like the look. I put on some HSD coilovers with Hotchkis Sways so my ride is not as plush but when I'm whipping around corners its VERY responsive. Complete different feel then stock.

19" just didn't visually appeal to me, I feel the 20" fit the car perfectly. Does it not accelerate as fast?, physics says yes but real world I dunno.

I'm looking at CV3 until I get my TE37 in Mag Blue. I'm just afraid buy placing 20inch wheels the car will feel pulled down feeling.

I don't think anyone would want to take 20's to the track..
if you go to the track you should have track wheels which I am in the process of getting..

I have Vossen CV3 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear. As for vibration, once I hit 65mph their is slight vibration, but nothing too bad. My car is defiantly slower off the line though since these tires are bigger and wider. As for quality I think they're top notch.



I am lowered as well with 245 front/285 rear and have zero rubbing issues. LMK if you have any more questions.

U need wheel balance if not good alignment will do.
I went up to 120mph to test it right after wheel balance and alignment, 👍 no issue whatsoever.
